This study proposes a new vibration control approach for adjacent twin structures, which is termed as viscous damper asymmetric coupling system in this paper. The proposed system takes a concept that the diagonal bracing viscous dampers are asymmetrically distributed in two buildings to break the behavior symmetry of the twin buildings and then the coupling viscous damper is additionally installed at the top floor of the two buildings to couple both buildings and interactively transfer the asymmetric behavior-caused damping forces into both buildings. These asymmetric damping distributions and interacting damping forces of the connection damper efficiently suppress the overall vibration of the damper-coupled adjacent twin buildings efficiently. Genetic algorithm (GA) based multi-objective optimization technique is adopted for optimal design of the proposed system. In the numerical example of adjacent twin 10-story building structures, the conventional control approach, that is, uniform damping distribution system (UDS) is also taken into account for comparison purpose. The optimization results verify that the proposed system either can improve the control performance over the UDS with the same damping capacity, or can save the damping capacity significantly while maintaining the similar level of control performance to the UDS.

This study deals with new application method of the connecting tuned mass damper (CTMD) system for efficient vibration control of adjacent twin structures which have the same dynamic properties such as natural frequency and damping characteristics to each other. In the existing research, the vibration control of the twin structures has a limit to the application of the conventional damper-connection method of the twin structures. Due to the same frequency characteristics leading to the equally vibrating behaviors, it is impossible to apply the conventional connection method of the adjacent structures. In order to overcome these limitations induced by the symmetry of the dynamic characteristics, we propose a new CTMD-based control system that adopts the conventional connection configuration but unbalances the symmetric system by arranging the control device asymmetrically and then can finally achieve the efficient control performance. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed system, numerical simulations of the optimally designed proposed system have been performed in comparison with the optimal design results of the existing independent single tuned mass damper (STMD) control system and the another optimal control system previously proposed by the same author, hereafter called CTMD-OsTMD. The comparative results of the control performances among STMD, CTMD-OsTMD and the proposed CTMD systems verified that the newly proposed control system can be a control-efficient and cost-effective system for vibration suppression of the two adjacent twin structures.

High-rise buildings (HRBs) are considered one of the most common structures nowadays due to the population growth, especially in crowded towns. The lack of land in crowded cities has led to the convergence of the HRBs and the absence of any gaps between them, especially in lands with weak soil (e.g., liquefaction-prone soil), but then during earthquakes, these structures may be exposed to the risk of collision between them due to the large increase in the horizontal displacements, which may be destructive in some cases to the one or both of these adjacent buildings. To evaluate methods of reducing the risk of collision between adjacent twin HRBs, this research investigates three vibration control methods to reduce the risk of collision due to five different earthquakes for the case of two adjacent reinforced concrete (RC) twin high-rise buildings of 15 floors height without gap distance between them, founded on raft foundation supported on piles inside a liquefaction-prone soil. Contact pounding elements between the two buildings (distributed at all floor levels and at the raft foundation level) are used to make the impact strength between the two buildings realistic. The mitigation methods investigated are the base isolation, the tuned mass damper (TMD) method (using traditional TMDs), and the pounding tuned mass damper (PTMD) method (using PTMDs connected between the two buildings). The results show that the PTMD method between the two adjacent RC twin high-rise buildings is more efficient than the other two methods in mitigating the earthquake-induced pounding risk.

Urban tunnelling need to consider not only the stability of tunnel itself but also the ground movement regarding adjacent structures. This paper present 3-D behavior of adjacent structures due to tunnelling induced ground movements by means of field measuring data and nonlinear FEM tunnel analysis. The results of the analytical methods from Mohr-Coulomb model are compared with the site measurement data obtained during the twin tunnel construction. It was found that the location and stiffness of the structure influence greatly the shape and pattern of settlement trough. The settlement trough for Greenfield condition was different from the trough for existing adjacent structures. Therefore the load and stiffness of adjacent structures should be taken into account for the stability analysis of the structures.

This study proposes a new control approach for efficient vibration suppression of two identical adjacent structures. The conventional control approach of two adjacent structures is to interconnect the two structures with passive, semi-active or active control devices. However, when the two adjacent structures are identical to each other, their dynamical behaviors such as frequency and damping properties are also the same. In this case, the interconnected control devices cannot exhibit the dissipative control forces on the both structures as expected since the relative displacements and velocities of the devices become close to zero. In other words, the interconnection method does not work for the twin structures as enough as expected. In order to solve this problem, we propose several new control approaches to effectively and efficiently reduce the identically-fluctuating responses of the adjacent structures with minimum control efforts. In order to demonstrate the proposed control systems, the proposed several control systems are optimally designed and their control performances are compared with that of the conventional optimal control system where each TMD(tuned mass damper) is installed in each structure for independent control purpose. The simulated results show that one of the proposed control systems(System 04) is able to guarantee enhanced control performance compared with the conventional system.

In practice, the interference influence caused by adjacent footings of structures on geo-reinforced loose soil has a considerable impact on their behavior. Thus, the goal of this study is to evaluate the behavior of two strip footings in close proximity on both geocell and geogrid reinforced soil with different reinforcement layers. Geocell was made from geogrid material used to compare the performance of cellular and planar reinforcement on the bearing pressure of twin footings. Extensive experimental tests have been performed to attain the optimum embedment depth and vertical distance between reinforcement layers. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis has been conducted to monitor the deformation, tilting and movement of soil particles beneath and between twin footings. Results of tests and PIV technique were verified using finite element modeling (FEM) and the results of both PIV and FEM were used to utilize failure mechanisms and influenced shear strain around the loading region. The results show that the performance of twin footings on geocell-reinforced sand at allowable and ultimate settlement ranges are almost 4% and 25% greater than the same twin footings on the same geogrid-reinforced sand, respectively. By increasing the distance between twin footings, soil particle displacements become smaller than the settlement of the foundations.

현재 터널 시공 시 인접 구조물 및 지반의 침하를 기준으로 안정성을 평가하고 있지만, 지반의 전단변형은 터널 굴착 및 작용하중 변화에 따른 지반의 파괴메커니즘을 결정짓는 주요 인자로서 터널 굴착 시 안정성 검토 및 보강영역 산정에 활용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는, 실내모형시험을 통해 도심지 연약지반에 병렬터널 굴착을 모사하여 병렬터널 굴착이 인접한 군말뚝 기초 및 인접 지반에 미치는 거동에 대해 분석하였다. 실내모형시험 시 근거리 사진계측을 활용하여 지중의 변위 및 지반의 전단변형을 구하고, 이를 바탕으로 2차원 유한요소 수치해석을 수행하였다. 역해석 결과 병렬터널의 필라부 수평이격거리 및 군말뚝 기초 선단부와 터널 천단부 사이 수직이격거리가 증가할수록 최대전단변형률이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 필라부 수평이격거리가 증가할수록 두 번째 터널에 의해 첫 번째 터널 및 군말뚝 기초에 미치는 영향이 줄어들었다. 또한, 필라부 수평이격거리보다 군말뚝 기초 선단부와 터널 천단부 사이 수직이격거리가 지반의 전단변형률 결과에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 근거리사진계측과 수치해석 결과 인접 군말뚝 및 인접 지반의 침하는 설계 기준 이내로 측정되었으나, 지반의 전단변형률은 모든 Case에서 미소변형 범위를 벗어나 보강이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
